It does look like the Cho's are at the roadblock alone and are later than the bunched teams (K/L, D/K, P/S, T/J). I don't see other teams when they show shots of them. I also can't tell if there are other teams shown with the shot of Kim up in the tower. You see someone in a helmet real quick but I can't tell if it is a team. I know I'm rambling.

Point taken , I don't see Kim in the shots with S/D/T/Lynn .. but they are watching someone maybe Kim? just a guess ? It would seem they have to take turns.

So if the Roadblock is climbing the towers and the Camels are a detour what the heck are the chests ?

From my point of view, i think they are taking turns to do the roadblock(again! ) which i dont really like it. They should all perform the roadblock at the same time. Thats not challenging at all...they order would be the same once they leave the roadblock to another task........Also this season has lots of bunching up between all the teams. Well,sometimes its good to have that but why all the time? im so mad when unnecessary "bunching" occurs.

I don't think we have any clothing changes -- I think the women on the teams are required to cover their shoulders while in Kuwait out of cultural respect. This is the case in many Muslim countries.

Hence, Kim changes out of her blue tank top into gray shirt, Sarah covers up with pink shirt/blue jacket, Karlyn covers red tank top with red jacket when out in public -- she takes the jacket off in the cab, however.

^^^ and that is why they are all wearing long pants mwooden ?! even the girls ! Good call ! also I agree with you Marly that probably is Kim not production afterall because for sure thats Rob with her as his clothes match up . Sarah is wearing long pants as well .. Peter could have unzipped his cargo pants but still do they usually have time to change tops ? Hard to say whats going on with Sarah's pants? capri's ?

OK I'm obsessed ..I went through all the legs and cannot find Peter & Sarah wearing those conf clothes any where at the same time so I think its new . The question is IF they are to cover up in Kuwait out of cultural respect then why doe's Peter have shorts on if this is a Kuwait confessional ?In Mauritius Izabela saw 5 teams ( the geeky girl part is still confusing but could be Edwin who could look like Lori ,TAR9 ) . And Izabela also saw 6 kayaks , and also speculates that one team may have taken the Fast Forward and if a team did take the fast forward this could only be Peter & Sarah as Mary & David already used their's in Kuwait . So I'm selling myself the idea that Mary and David did take the Fast Forward in Kuwait but got behind and did not come in first and were eliminated :-\ .

Puddin, as to why Peter is in shorts when they are in the confessional -- dunno. Maybe at the pit stop, teams are out of the public eye and have a little more leeway in terms of what they can wear. I definitely would have been changing into shorts first chance I had -- temps in Kuwait that week were 110+. :flamemad:

I'm leaning towards banzai's version , plain & simple Mary & David don't survive Kuwait even with the fast forward .As far as the chests , K wrote : I took those pictures on Friday, around 8.15 am. < That was at the airport & Towers Then we see the Barbies & Lyn's with the chests << Chateau wrote :The shots of the BQ's and Alabama at the Towers are around 1 pm.So the chests come after the Roadblock/climb the towers ? 9iish am to 1 pm is a lot of time to kill.

No The chest task comes before the RoadBlock and the Fast Forward. Remember in the Hungarian leg, they have to do a small task before the Fast Forward. Yeah, those old funny train cars, remember. And then Lori/Bolo went for the Fast Forward.

The editor just mixed up those segments. When Lyn/Karly said "don't help those 2 girls". The editor supposed to find a clip of Dustin & Kandice. But the editor was lazy, so he just grab some random segments and squeezed in some frames like these:

Or your saying that the Barbies & Lynns are trying for the FF after the towers ?eta: how would they know Mary & David failed the FF ..they came back to the towers ?eta: OK I understand what your saying banzai..I'll leave now

That's what I'm trying to tell everybody but you guys will kill me. David & Mary finished the FF and won the 1st prize. Peter & Sarah also survived this leg. So it means the Cho bros are out. All other spoilers are messed up.

Remember Yolanda quit the FF and came back to the Monkey Festival? So other teams know.

The 8:45 to 8:53 was for this shot and was based on the shadows cast by the towers and knowing where those cars were parked using GE.

I think Kuwaiti confirmed it as well later on. I would use his time since judging shadow locations has its errors.

Puddin, I missed the shot of Alabama at the Camel Races so my theory of what happens is trashed. Back to the drawing board.

Also, I can't find the spot where those treasure chests are. I've looked all around the tower location with Google Earth and nothing fits. Do they appear in video-continuity with the other shots at the tower? I have not seen the video yet.
